It's pretty close to 3:1. But their gaming revenue is in the low $20 millions for the year. That is a fraction of most of the locals casinos. - Such low revenue didn't justify the cost of the purchase of the building and the operating expenses. It was an expensive building to try and sell buffalo wings. Wine loved I deeply, dice dearly -Edgar, betrayed son of Gloucester in King Lear |

It would not surprise me if that place goes the way of the dodo bird. It's not whether you win or lose; it's whether or not you had a good bet. |

| pacomartin Member since: Jan 14, 2010 Threads: 544 Posts: 6192 | The small or old casinos around the Las Vegas strip cumulatively add up to a billion dollar a year business (gaming and non-gaming). Although dwarfed by the main resorts on the strip that is still a fairly big business. Only a handful of movies have ever made a billion dollars. Hooters, Tropicana, Riviera, Sahara, Wild Wild West, Terribles, Ellis Island, Casino Royale, Tuscany, Causarina, Slots o Fun, Bill's Gaming Hall, and Hard Rock. Actually Hard Rock should increase this year with all the improvements. Wine loved I deeply, dice dearly -Edgar, betrayed son of Gloucester in King Lear |

HA! Those coupons are worthless...! "If you can make one heap of all your winnings / And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss / And lose, and start again at your beginnings / And never breathe a word about your loss..." -Rudyard Kipling |
